(Cheers.) He did not believe that the end would be long de- layed. Little progress would be possible in English and Scotch affairs until the Irish question was brought to happy consumma- tion. It was he who had caused the block in the last session of Parliament. The fact was that he had not made a single proposal during the whole session. It WAS not by him or his friends that the progress of affairs had been stopped.
